your 'make me feel better' songs :)
 

I dont know about you lot but when i need calming or im feeling a bit low i stick on my ipod and always seem to turn to the same tunes.
So i ask you...

What songs (if any) calm you down or make you feel better?

mine are

Owl city - hello seattle
owl city - Air Traffic

I considered starting a thread like this, good idea. :)

Joshua Radin - Brand New Day.
Really, I would recommend this to anyone. It's a really simple song, but it's beautiful. I'm a huge fan of Joshua Radin, and this is my favourite song by him. It's amazing.

Never Shout Never- On The Brightside.
Again, another really simple, yet beautiful song. In fact, I will recommend most Never Shout Never songs. Christofer Drew Ingle (aside from being BEAUTIFUL) is really good at what he does.

Together With The Sun Down - Chase Coy.
I really am a fan of acoustic music :) Again, a lovely, simple song. Reminds me of my boyfriend - who I love, so..

Stephan Jerzak - Cute
I think this song is great. It's made up of really cheesy chat up lines, and the tune is really happy sounding :)


There are loads of others, but for now...

Everybodys' someone-Brian Mcfadden
Everybody's free to feel good (can't remember who did it)
I'll make a man out of you-Mulan
Hakuna matata-Lion King

The Boat - Chuck Ragan

Twenty Years - Placebo

The Melting Point of Wax - Thrice

Stare at The Sun - Thrice

Strength Through Wounding - AFI

That is an awesome idea. I need to get it on my mp3 player.

Can I Add:

Most songs by The Beatles :)

i'd like to add
big things from the fame soundtrack. not sure why but it always gets me in a good mood XD

This thread makes me smile.
All i can think of atm is Counting Crows - Accidently In Love. It's upbeat :tongue2:

Also, Johnny Cash!

Especially: Luther played the Boogie.
On the day I moved out ofmy mum's house, she drove me across the country to my university, and all the way, we had this song on and danced like loonies. :)

Yes :) definitely.

Also, Gone - Kelly Clarkson always makes me feel better.
As well as Jackson 5 - Rockin Robin. Cheesy, but amazing :)

The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
Makes me smile every time I hear it, and the words are soo true, just what you need to hear when you're not feeling great :D

Fireflies - Owl City
I dunno why this one, but it just makes me feel happy : )

this song is great :) owl city are epic, you should find the parodys 'ikea' and 'kangaroos' they will make you smile :)

^ I prefer Vanilla Twilight, by Owl City.

Also, Dental Care makes me smile every time I hear it. :)

i agree and sky diver. i like that one :)

Twenty years makes me so sad.Especially the lyric :''but all will pass and and too fast,you know''.God,it makes me cry.

My happy song is 'The magic position' by Patrick Wolf.

Wow, I love that song so much, it always makes me feel better whenever I'm down.

I like your song choice. :)

Also Accidentally In Love by Counting Crows is amazing :D
